The four hole, 1,000 metre drill program successfully
intercepted a broad fold structure, 2.5 kilometres north of the
past-producing high-grade Manibridge nickel mine. Nickel
mineralization was intersected in all holes. In each case a zone
of massive sulphides, 0.5 to 4 metres long in drill holes, is
hosted by a broad zone of disseminated sulphide mineralization
(8 to 14 metres in length).

Portable XRF analyses of the core shows that nickel is present
both in the massive and in the disseminated sulphide
mineralization. Two of the best historical intersections from
this area were 12.1 metres of 1.46% Ni in hole W50-130 and 2.6
metres of 3.05% Ni in hole W50-124.

The drilling highlighted mineralization in the fold, and further
mineralized intersections subparallel to known mineralization.
Multiple sulphide mineralized intersections were reported for
all drill holes, with the key horizons intercepted as follows:

MNB19-04: Starting at 42 metres depth, 0.5 metres of massive
sulphide mineralization in a 10 metre zone of disseminated
sulphide mineralization, with a further 3.5 metres massive
sulphide mineralization at 92.5 to 96 metres. This hole targeted
a strong EM conductor. The sulphides intersected do not appear
to explain the EM conductor. Disseminated sulphides near the end
of the drill hole can be interpreted as the start of a second
massive sulphide-bearing zone that together with the first zone
of massive sulphides would explain the EM conductor.

The mineralization is composed of pyrite and pyrrhotite with
accessory pentlandite and chalcopyrite. It is hosted in
ultramafic rocks as well as associated pegmatite and amphibolite.

CanAlaska President Peter Dasler comments, "We
have recently increased our landholding in the Manibridge area,
and are very happy to be able to have new samples that will
allow us to evaluate the extent of high grade nickel and other
mineralization within the disseminated sulphide targets. In this
area of the Thompson Nickel Belt, the mineralization has very
high nickel tenor and high nickel grades have been associated
with low sulphide content. We are very pleased with the results
of this drill program and have now secured assessment credit on
the property for some years to come. We will now focus our
exploration efforts to significantly extend the West McArthur
uranium project discoveries in Saskatchewan."
